  • Angels most definitely sing. "Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. In a loud voice they sang..." Revelation 5:11 this is my fav verse that mentions Angels singing. I know at least 3 others too. Check your bible before you say something is not there.

  • WOW..How POWERFULL !! Who could not love this !!!

  • I really appreciate the works of the original composer of this song. Aside the inspirational values, I see it as an exposition of what that day will be.

    If men could sing like this, how about the angels? It is my wish that they all will be in that angelic band where songs and praises will be the only focus.

    God bless you guys. ekereteful - Nigeria

  • @ekereteful

    Angels don't sing. It's a privilege reserved for mankind. Or...at least the bible doesn't eve mention the angels singing.

  • Mark and his crazy outfits.

  • wwwdotExposingChristianitydotc­om

  • is it wrong that im drunk and crying like a baby in my bands hotel room???

  • @brucekirk89 I don't think there's nothing wrong with you. Maybe it was God touching your heart over this beautiful song. He has mysterious ways in trying to get our attention.

  • @brucekirk89 ---No It means the Holy spirit of God is touching your heart.....

  • i get goosebumps each time i hear this song...

  • One of God's annointed - Michael English

  • Love it....that is all to be said!!!!

  • I clap my hands and say HOLY....Praise be to GOD

  • There will never be ANYONE who can sing this song like the GVB and Michael English. The talent they possess is insurmountable, and their music touches the lives of thousands every single day.

  • amazing! powerful

  • Amazing song. No matter how many times I listen to this, I can help but tear up! Powerful song! Btw, the reason he has gum in his mouth is to keep his mouth from getting dry (as per an interview he gave.). Several singers do that, even Pavarotti! God bless you all and Merry Christmas!!

  • This is so beautiful and so very anointed of God! May God bless Michael English as he continues to use his talents for the Glory of God!

  • I enjoyed this song so much that I sang it as a solo in my local church last night and God poured down his Holy Spirit upon me and the church stood up to their feet and praised the Lord and sang with me.

    This is so anointed! May God continue to bless Michael English in his work for the Lord.

  • I love this song. I sing this song too. I pray someday I will get to here Michael sing this in person.

  • @ WickedQueen314.......GOD DOES EXIST!!! IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM WE WOULD NOT BE HERE... READ THE BIBLE FOR ONCE AND SEE HOW MUCH OF IT HAS BEEN FULLFILLED. PEOPLE JUST DON'T HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD ANYMORE, SO THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. I FOR ONE LOVE GOD AND KNOWS HE EXISTS AND AM NOT ASHAMED TO SAY THAT I KNOW HIM.

  • What an anointed song. Oh, how I love Jesus.

  • Very powerful song! Awesome!

  • Beautiful song.

  • you know i idolized him when i was a teen, i sang and wanted to be just like him. it was so unfair of the community to judge him so harshly when he made a mistake. they took the doves away from him back then, i remember how hurt i was that they didn't show him compassion. when did we become judge, and god stepped aside. he made my days brighter, we all make mistakes, and we all fall short. he is an amazing vocalist, and brought so many to god.... makes me hurt inside to think that they did that.

  • @CubJustice  What did he do??

  • @CubJustice they didn't take away the awards - read his book he sent them back and they returned them to him right away - he did make some mistakes but he has returned to the fold!

  • I've always loved this song. Did alot for me especially today. Thank you for reminding me of the wonderful love of Jesus.

  • Great song just wish he would of taken his gum out lol. Love the song though

  • The legendary Michael English!!! What a voice...God continue to bless you as you sing for His glory!!!

  • It grabs you by the heart......fills your soul to bursting......and reminds you that this world is NOT all there is THANK GOD

  • Did anyone notice Johnathan Pierce in the choir at 4:24? How mad is that???

  • Michael, in this video, gives quite possibly the greatest live vocal performance I have ever witnessed in his performance on this tune.

  • I assume this was '93 or '94? Before Michael left and Guy joined the band? Wonderful performance.

  • can i ask, who s the orginal singers of this song, GVB or Heritage? thank u.. God bless.. I love heritage singers too

  • The 1st time I heard this song was in 1984 when Michael English performed it with the Singing Americans. I didn't hear the Heritage singers perform it till many years later.

  • I think Jimmie Davis wrote it, but Mahalia Jackson did a version a long, long time ago without the second verse and with different timing. The first time I personally heard it was when Michael (or Mike) was with the Singing Americans. He actually sang it first with the Happy Goodmans (I think), and then "brought" it to the Singing Americans for his second stint with them....then brought it to Gaither, and pretty much everywhere he's been. Smart move. He owns this song, IMO.

  • i agree with put the feeling to god not to u

    u should watch heritage singer 2

  • Don't worship a feeling but worship the Lord. I believe He put that in my mind a little while ago.

  • I first heard this sung by Michael about 20 years ago in the Chicago area. I have loved it since then.

  • Amen!

  • THE best version on video of this song...Mike's voice was at it's peak... Terry, Mike, and Mark had fantastic harmony, but then again, didn't every GVB?

  • what a voice and song. glorify to the Lord the King of all KINGS!!!

  • amen my friend amen!

  • Great song. Glorify our Lord Jesus.

  • I've never heard Michael sing a song I didn't love, but of all the songs with all the different groups- this is my all-time favorite version of my all-time favorite song with my all-time favorite GVB.

  • I think this was originally done by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir but I believe Michael English was with them singing it during the original recording.

  • I 1st heard Michael English perform this with "the Singing Americans" in 1984. He didn't perform it with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir until 7-8 years later

  • I thought he wrote this song?

  • No... Michael English made it famous, but it was written by Nettie Dudley Washington.

  • Who sang this originally? Was it them? This is one of my absolute favorite christian melodies; a peer of mine used to sing this when he was about 14-16yrs old (his voice was comparable to Brian McKnight's awsome skill)...I still love this song.

  • Anyone else notice Jonathan Peirce in the Chior???

  • Ditto to all of your comments..this is absoluely beautiful...Praise to God and Glory for sending us such powerful praise. Thank you JESUS for YOUR Blood and saving a wretch like me.

  • The first time I heard Michael sing that song was when he was with the Singing Americans before he joined the GVB. That's definitely his song!

  • This was my favorite performance of Michael for sure. Although he still sounds amazing now, I still liked the way he sang in the 90's the most.

  • Not only is this a showcase for Michael but this may be his best performance I've seen. I don't think he has this much range in his voice today.

  • If you're heard his new CD and the background vocals you would see his range has expended even more... He hit the High F, WOW!

  • Have you heard him today? He still has it and is even better because of his love for Christ who , with Michael's faith, brought him back from deaths door. He exudes the Holy Spirit more than ever before!

  • this song is.... amazing

  • amazing .... How people can say that God doesn't exist is unbelievable to me when i hear something like this. This is the essence of HOLY

  • @TheMASTER0622 God Doesn't Exist.

  • @WickedQueen314 Yes He does, Wicked Queen. I know Him personally. My wife died and came back too. Ask me more if you want to know, but I don't think you do.

  • @WickedQueen314 -- Just how do you know this. Who told you God does not exist.

  • @TheMASTER0622 THIS IS THE SONGS THE ANGELS WROTE TO SHOW THE FATHERS POWER AND GLORY.

  • this is my mom's favorite song.

  • This performance literally takes my breath away! Amazing!

  • ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL....Michael English is a great singer now...but here....he is very very exceptional....amen

  • this is when mike was at the top of his game

  • this video has always touched me and to think those who have passed for now will all meet us when we get to heaven and know us well.and take us down the streets of heaven right to jesus.what aday that will be.

  • i have heard many versions of this song but the one that i like the most is the one with the brooklyn tabernacle choir . If anyone has that version please post it it is just a beautiful song.

  • this song bless my soul a lot

  • lol, at 1:16 no one plays the piano :))

  • there's a whole orchestra playing

  • but still... nobody is playing that piano... nice song, though..

  • True, probably a track. This is really a solo showcase for Michael. In that case I'm sure they turn off the piano mic and use the track.

  • The original version is by far the best of all versions I have heard. Truly I am blessed.! Glory to the Son of God.

  • one of my all time favorite hymn bring such spirit that fills the heart with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

  • Love This song...hey in this video Mark's suit looks like something Joker or the Two Face guy would wear on batman.

  • We saw the Gaither Vocal Band with David, Michael, Wes and Bill a couple of weeks ago. Mark was not with them. All I can say is "WOW"!!! Welcome back Michael. Welcome back David.

    Hope they do a video soon.

  • Amen! I can't wait for that day. Yes, Lord!

    I wish there was a repeat button somethere on this video. I could listen to this song all day.

  • I just recently heard myself that the GVB were reuniting. Can you just comprehend hearing Mike & David on the same stage together? WHEW!!!

  • It's going to be awesome, michael english the greatest lead ever for the vocal band, and david phelps the greatest tenor ever for the vocal band, talk about vocal ability through the roof!

  • Thank God Bill Gaither has Got Michael back! Bill is a great man of grace and a great example of how all Christians should be. God knows our hearts and we need to forgive before we can be forgiven...AMEN!

    I can't wait to hear the New GVB with Michael, David Phelps, Wes Hampton, Mark Lowery and Bill Gaither...GVB Super Quintet! WOW!!!

    I love you brother and I am proud of where God wants you to be... :)

    In Christ's Love,

    John J. McCall

  • Oh Hallelujah!! Glory to the Son of God!! Praise the Lord.

  • WOW!!! Such a powerful song! Has such an annointing! I'm sitting here crying like a baby. Ya'll won't it be all worth it in the end!!!! Oh I want to see Jesus!

  • Is this what heaven is going to be like? Somebody save me, please.

    I guess I shouldn't be here but somebody posted it to facebook. I think I walked into the wrong room. Sorry to bother you, I'll just head back to ....

  • Heaven is going to be oh sooo much more that just the words of this song! It will be undescribable! To be saved is just as easy as talking. All you have to do is ask God to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart. God loves you soooo much!

  • AMAZING SONG!! AMAZING AMAZING! I love the choir director a little after 5:10. He looks like he's about to have a shout down! I would have been jumping all over that room! PRAISE THE LORD!

  • Não tem o que dizer é maravilhoso...

  • Beautiful song love it! Thanks for sharing.

  • Please put this on YouTube again. It is at the top of our list for great performances.

  • I can't believe that this video is no longer available. I is the most beautiful version of the song i have ever heard. Yes there are other videos with Michael singing it, but none compare to this one. Please make video available again.

  • Most beautiful song I have ever heard. Really made me cry and I thank Jesus for loving me as he does!

  • at 4:21 when they show the picture of the choir singing in the background..That's Jonathan Pierce, is it not? Kinda ironic if so..

  • The most beautiful version of this song ever!

    Wow! I clapped my hands and sang Holy!!

  • No one can sing this song like Michael English. I am so grateful to God for restoring him. HE is a precious man of God. Everyone needs to read his book of his restoration from the jaws of death. Thank you Lord for bringing him back.

  • Amen!!

  • It is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about.I make that judgment from your own words. If you knew Rick as I do you would know how wrong you are. As far as dmbslick1 is concerned, these videos were put on here at the request of many of Rick's fans. Nobody asked you to watch them. You are certainly welcome to stay away. The fact is Rick does sing to the glory of God and anyone who knows him will tell you that is true.

  • Yep, thats Jonathan Pierce at 4:22.

  • I thought all of this was for the glory of God!!I see that you have other motives.All I can do at this time is pray for you.

  • More like "for the glory of Rick" than for any concern for God. Keep up the mock piety though...

    PS I am not talking about rickster who was kind enough to host this vid, but this dmbslick1's spamming of Mike's videos shamelessly promoting himself. Oh yeah... promoting the "Glory of God".

  • gaithers...wow never hurd any one better ( Cathedreals are abotu the same in my book) but the gaithers are awsome and there love of God and passion they have for southern gospel music is awsome God Bless and keep singing guys:)

  • It is truly sad to see a person so filled with bitterness that he can not see the good that comes from sharing God's greatness with others.

  • It is telling that you call my earlier comments "bitter" when all I do is point out the obvious. What, pray tell, do you suppose I am "bitter" about? That I feel Rick is not as talented a singer as Mike? Or that it is tacky to spam another singer's website? Methinks that the label "bitter" might be more apt for a "wanna-be" than me.

  • The Rick guy isn't a bad singer, but he needs to find his own niche. Also it is quite gaudy to spam a talented and well-known artists video page claiming to be better. Even if you are better, which IMO you clearly are not, it shows incredible poor taste.

  • i still laugh when i see jonathan pierce in the choir.

  • THIS SONG IS OLD. I MEAN VERY OLD. It was around at least about fifty years ago that I know of.

    NOTE:  The original version was written correctly to say "I saw Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," as it should have.

  • So people stand in a line in heaven in the order in which they died and therefore you can only see them in chronological order? Is that what you're saying? Or do you cannonize the song lyrics so that rearrangin a few words is like changing verses in the bible or something?

  • okay. can you get this version on DVD/CD?!?! i mean, is this from a BEST OF DVD or something?!?!?!? I laughed because I saw jonathan pierce in the choir. HA!

  • This song has blessed my life for many years.

  • The Anointing of GOD flows over this video, Praise JESUS!!

  • You don't know how true that statement is. Every time I hear this song I want to cry. I can not wait to see Jesus someday. Michael English, thank you for releasing your book and new CD. God has truly redeemed you and can redeem anyone. I can not stop listening to the new disc.

  • I love Micheal English...As well as the Gaither Vocal Band and all the homecoming guests.. I am so glad to see Michael back it is very heart warming.. He has an incredible voice and it sends such a blessing to my soul when I hear him sing.. He redid this song with the current Gaither VB in the Toronto homecoming special and it was EXTRAORDINARY...I cried when I heard him sing this again.. Thank you for sharing this version with all of us.

  • You should hear Dennis Beasley sing this - he did it in the Easter Cantata at Brandon First United Methodist Church, Brandon, MS on March 16, 2008 - and I have never heard anything like it! Esther

  • praise God

  • Why..o why..he has to chewing that gum???? It just destroy the song!!!

  • When you sing as many nights as they do and as long as they do, you would understand that their mouths get so dry. We shouldn't be looking at the people. We should be listening to the song and worship.

  • he has to chew gum. he has a disorder that cuases him not to produce fiuld by him self for his mouth

  • No it doesn't the chewing gum does not take away from this song. If you are not touched by this song even with the gum your soul is not right with the lord.

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone know who added the video of michael english singing I Bowed on my Knees at Azusa from 1992, or why it was taken down?

  • This song is very touching

  • Praise God. Thank you so very much for this video. I have a playlist on the Gaither's.

    God Bless you and your's

    Love in Christ

    Debby

  • Glory to the Father my spirit is full

  • The way he sings just sends shivers down my back and an overwhelming sense of joy in my soul! Now thats what you call worshiping in spirit!! When it touches someone's soul then you know that you're dealing with a worshiper!

  • michael was way before david. no dout david is a great singer, but these guys only comes one at a time.

  • i love watching and listening to michael cause his singing is so real to him

  • WOW! No one can sing this song like Michael English.... simply amazing!

  • Great song. I would like to have heard David Phelps do this one while he was with the GVB. He is a far better singer than English!

  • No one will ever sing this song as great as Michael sang this song. The greatest voice in gospel music at the time and my favorite of all time.

  • From what video is this song?

  • It was only on VHS, it might be on dvd by now as they are usually updating everything to dvd. it is the praise gathering video from about 1994. it has like a purple color scheme to it. just find praise gathering from the gaitherstore and look for songs included and look for i bowed on my knees etc. Thanks,Rick.

  • My mom died a few years back and I have her copy of this video. As I type this tears are streaming down my face as I relive in my mind our times spent watching this wonderful song. It was one of her favorites. In fact, we used one of the songs from this video at her funeral service. I hope this video comes out on DVD because my tape is getting worn. Thanks for posting this!

  • Thats touching man, Im sure you will reunite with her when the Lord comes. God bless you.

  • Beautiful song! The dress clothes look so nice for a change from trendy. Let's stop wearing jeans to church and put on our best for the King. He deserves respect and this is one way to show it.

  • hello please can you tell me where i can get this video from its so wonderful to listen too.

  • Hi fay, yeah, you can buy it from amazon online. i got mine off of gaitehrnet but it is not there anymore. i did see it on the amazon website recently. thanks, i am glad you like it. the video is from the praise gathering from 1992 or 1993. the guys are on the cover and it is kinda pinkish/purple and black. Rick,,,

  • Only one word for this..... WOW !!!

  • This is AWESOME!!! As all of Michaels songs are!!!

    ALL have sinned and come short of the glory.., we have ALL messed up and done wrong! There is not one perfect person..,once we are forgiven we are forgiven, God no longer remembers, we do but we should remember that but for the grace of God, we'd be in the same circumstance.

    God gave that mughty talent to Mr. English and I am smart enough to enjoy it..,you???

  • As far as his voice is concerned now, No it won't be like it was. Drug use and just not using his voice will do that to you. Give him a while he will back to his awsome vocal power again.

  • Michael English was with the Singing Americans before joining the GVB, he than went solo for a while than after the album "In Christ Alone"(for wich he won a Dove award) we didn't hear anything from him, which some of you call his "fall from grace", than here in the last few years he has been coming back into the Southern Gospel scene.

  • I, too, have fallen. Fallen very far from grace. I have found the Christian community to be so unforgiving. If only I had a Vestal to pray me back, to guide me,.....I think this man's strength is amazing and I give him so much credit. God Bless You Michael. This is from someone who knows.

  • Thanks for sharing this and the other videos. You and YouTube are such a blessing.

    He probably has a drop or lozenge in his mouth. Julie Andrews said on a talk show once that she always had one in her mouth while singing.

    Did M English perform with Gaithers before his solo career/and fall from grace or after?

  • well, i believe he was doing group stuff with the goodmans and others first, then the GVB, then solo with his fall from grace and then back to the homecoming tours and producing stuff. I will be corrected if i 'm wrong i'm sure,lol. But i think thats about how it went, thanks, Rick,,,,,

  • 'fall from grace' is absolutely wrong... when anyone chooses contrary to God's Will, then Grace is strongest in their lives. 'Grace' is the very essense of God's Love. God said 'I will NEVER leave you or forsake you!' Michael experienced the Shepherd leaving the flock in the fold, pursuing him, and bringing him back into the fold. That's GRACE. Michael NEVER fell from Grace. He was embraced by it. So are you and I, always.

  • PLEASE....everyone go out and buy Michael's book. Prodigal Comes Home! It is an AWESOME testimony of God's redemption. Welcome back Michael

  • Rickster38 im going to give 5 stars and this video deserve that

  • awesome, I have chills. thank you for posting this song.

  • i thought i was seeing things too...i think he is chewing gum...maybe his throat was dry...

  • yeah, i believe it is a throat drop. i heard some artists will use them if singing for long periods and it makes sense because the praise gatherings are more than a day and they sing for many hours in a day. It may have been dry in the arena also. I asked a few people who sing for a living and thats the best answer i got, lol. Rick

  • @samifuml he always chews gum when he sings...he says it does keep his mouth from getting dry

  • @samifuml he always chews gum when he sings...he says it does keep his mouth from getting dry

  • This is a great song.  But is he chewing gum?

  • yes, he always chews gum while he sings.

  • how do you get past downloading the flash player

  • not sure what you mean. you need to install flash player to view videos. it's harmless and needed to view a lot of animations and videos on the net.

  • I have installed it too many times. When I go back to hear the music, it ask me to install it again... I feel like a dog chasing its tail...

    Thanks Rickster,

  • I can't wait to buy this CD/DVD. I love Michael English's voice. He wasn't with the group that long and it is a pleasure to hear him.

  • He was with the group for about 9 years because he sang on the 1980's albums one buy one with Larnelle and Wings with Jim Murray.

  • Awesome, beautiful, wonderful, worship inspiring, WOW, what a voice and the song is just beautiful and brought tears to my eyes and led me into the worship of an awesome God!

  • Again, Michael in his prime. I think God spent extra time when he made Michael. I hate to sound superficial, but the face and the voice, simply impecable. Unparalelled actually.

  • michael, reggie smith, mark lowry and bill gaither sing this on "Mark Lowry goes to Hollywood" video made 2005. I like it better than this version, which is great.

  • This is my all time favorite song!

  • Thanks so much! That video from Praise Gathering is one of the best Gaither videos. Interesting to note that Jonathan Pierce, who replaced T.Franklin as tenor in the GVB, can be seen in the close shot of the choir.

  • wow, i was thinking that from when i first saw it and never knew if it was.awsome, how ironic for him to be in the choir only to sing with them later IoI.

  • Which video does this come from? I want to purchase it from the Gaither's store in my next order. Thanks for your help.

  • It was only on VHS, it might be on dvd by now as they are usually updating everything to dvd. it is the praise gathering video from about 1994. it has like a purple color scheme to it. just find praise gathering from the gaitherstore and look for songs included and look for i bowed on my knees etc. Thanks,Rick.

  • Thank you Rick. On my way to locate it.

  • Absolutely beautiful! Michael English has an astounding voice. He is one of my favorite Christian/Gospel singers. Glory be to God!

  • *wiping away the tears* Thank you for posting these absolutely beautiful videos. I am touched beyond words watching and listening. God bless your intent to share them with us.

  • amazing...

  • Definatley the best Christian/Gospel song ever written in my opinion or more like inspirational where it gives you a sense of what we would do when getting to the great beyond. And this is by far the best version captured on video from all i have seen thus far, Rick
